Chipply is a strong choice if you're a team dealer or decorator who handles production in-house and needs a platform that integrates store management with production workflows. Chipply's strength is in the connection between the online store and the shop floor — production-ready artwork lives directly inside your stores.
Brikl is a strong choice if you're a distributor who needs to get on-demand stores live fast. Brikl is on-demand first — launch a fully branded client store in minutes, source from 110+ brands at wholesale pricing, and have orders automatically routed to the right decoration partner across 12 integrated fulfillment providers. Where Chipply connects the store to the shop floor, Brikl connects the store to a network of fulfillment partners so you can sell without producing in-house.
